Where do I even begin with describing how absolutely wonderful Michele is?…read more I spent what felt like ages looking for a calligrapher who could pre-fill out my ceremonial marriage certificate and to do the placecards for the wedding reception. After sending many emails and not hearing back from anyone, I decided to do a Yelp blast and Michele was the first person to respond. Even though she's based on Staten Island, we were able to work out a time to meet up in the city for both drop off and pick up of my items. Throughout the entire process, Michele was amazing. She is incredibly attentive to detail, really cares about producing quality work that would fill her clients with joy, oh, and she happens to be the world's biggest sweetheart. As she worked, she contacted me to show me her progress and when I saw the place cards she made for my husband and me, I totally ugly cried some tears of joy! It was such a beautiful and surreal moment! Her prices are also so incredibly reasonable and transparent! I will definitely be working with her again in the future!

Michele was a dream to work with…read more I reached out on yelp on 12/11 and she called me within 30 minutes to discuss the project. She walked me through some options I hadn't considered (paper quality, color of ink, title, additional flourishes) without being "salesy", and she had a quote to me that evening. Her prices are comparable to other quotes I received, plus packing/shipping. I initially hoped I might be able to pick up the piece in person, but Michele is based in Staten Island and told me this during our first call. I appreciated that Michele was up front about her location, and I was happy to pay the packing/shipping fees. Michele put a lot of care into the packaging--the piece was placed within a cardboard mailer, inside more cardboard, inside a waterproof mailer with "Do Not Bend!" written on it multiple times. I went from contacting Michele on 12/11 to having the piece in hand on 12/17. I highly recommend her!

I absolutely LOVE Yoseka Stationary. It's one of my most favorite stationary stores. It's such a…read morechill, calming ambiance when you walk inside. The staff is so nice and helpful. There are plenty of pens, notebooks, fountain pen ink, it's an endless stationary heaven. It's awesome because you can try out all the pens they have and even test out fountain pen ink. I had so much fun testing out some pens, and swatching fountain pen ink. For fountain pen ink, they have organized binders for swatched ink, which is so helpful because there is so much to choose from! I could stay in that store forever. I ended up buying two fountain pen inks, which I love so much and use in my journal. The quality of their products are amazing and i'm already planning to come back very soon :)

I have purchased from Yoseka online multiple times over the years... and I recently moved a little…read morecloser so I made sure to visit Yoseka in person. I love their handwritten notes and suggestions as well as what they offer! That day came this past Saturday and I was so excited. It's located in Brooklyn - my first time in the area - and pretty easy to get to (with a transfer or two depending where in Manhattan you're coming from) with a 10 minute walk from the nearest subway station. We were there at around 1 pm and oh my goodness. So. Many. People. I heard this is their second - bigger - location. It was full to the brim. We went on our last day in the City so we had our backpacks on and bags (thankfully no luggage because that would have been impossible to maneuver). First off: the shop is super cute and well thought out, but it's narrow (which I soon realized is the norm as we later visited a few other stores in the neighborhood). There are a set of stairs you take to go up so can't really say it's very accessible to those in wheelchairs unless there's a separate entrance I'm unaware of. Both walls display a lot of things and there are two more floating sections down the middle where you can test try pens. That gives you roughly 3 narrow "aisles" to walk through and there are a lot of things to browse. (There are slide out drawers underneath where you choose the pens once you've tested them out.) Most people stop and browse/test so there's a lot of traffic. I often saw a number of people go outside because there's just so many people. I ended up being one of these people (sorry, no photos because of this) because there's not much room especially with my backpack and it was getting too stuffy for me. (And I already made my online purchases so I was mostly here for the experience on this trip.) There are employees scattered around but they are super busy. However, if one is free, they are really helpful! I did spot Daisy at one point coming out from the back and then out across the street where there's a separate Yoseka area but isn't open to the public - it's a funny feeling spotting someone you "know" for so long in videos/clips but finally in person. It was a little bit of a shock that I couldn't even utter out a "hi" in time before she disappeared, haha. This is a smaller operation though they have expanded over the years. I love the personal touches and they take time packing your order. This does means there's a bit of a wait before it ships, especially if it's during busy season. The notes they write aren't as long as before though. They also have unique, fun items. The only thing is they don't seem to keep a lot in stock. New - especially popular items - don't stay in stock for long and it's not guaranteed they'll get them back again. Sad if it's something you really like and just somehow missed or want to restock. I am under the impression they reserve some items for only in store, so if you're nearby, always nice to try your luck! Items are priced okay. They do have a storefront to support. I hope to visit again someday - but definitely on a weekday. Also because my next visit will likely include my young kids plus husband who hates crowds even more than me and I just can't imagine how that would go. I only suggest perhaps limiting the amount of people inside at a time when it gets busy like some stores do. It would be a more pleasant experience inside especially for those traveling to be there and may also promote more sales. My friend didn't want to ask questions on a pen she was eyeing because there was just too many people. I made one round around the store before I decided I needed fresh air and waited for my friend.

I initially reached out to her for calligraphy for name table settings, without even knowing just how many things Patricia could do. I am baptizing my daughter, however, she turned out to be my fairy Godmother bc she created the most special magical items that I will forever cherish.She helped personalize my daughters' frame souvenirs and they look absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to give them out. For the perfumes, you can give her an idea and she will make it work, so effortlessly and perfectly. I gave her ideas for perfume and cologne bottles and everything came out amazing. I loved the ones I gave to others that I loved so much so I made one for myself too. She gave me the idea to put a quote and again the painting and engraving came out lovely. Not only is she so talented but she also gave my daughter a beautiful gift including a personalized compact. I RECOMMEND PATRICIA FOR ANY OF YOUR NEEDS I GIVE HER A A +++ for customer service and will absolutely remain a customer of hers. Thank you for working your magic on my orders, my dear, your work is so much appreciated and I am so happy I found you!! I also am proud to support her as an independent female business woman. She is a value to our community, and all those who purchase from her from far. Thank you a million times! Sincerely, Joanne Burgos
